Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

  I couldn’t tell you my average monthly usage.

  Open up your Google Maps (or navigation app of choice) and you’ll likely have a record of how far you’ve traveled within a given time period.

  Subtract off any cab rides and rides in friends’ cars, and that’s your number plus or minus some distance in driveways or parking garages that the app can’t accurately measure.

      Sure. But then you’re still relying on an accurate odometer. I assumed the question was how you do it when disputing one.

      In the case of the article, the plaintiff is using prior vehicle mileage rates as countervailing evidence.

        The plaintiff is using that as one piece evidence right now at the start of the case. Of course they can and will gather and present other evidence.

  Obviously UK consumer protection is different so they may not have the “feature” here, but cars get their milage recorded yearly (after the first 3 years) as part of roadworthiness testing, available online given the licence plate, so I can see I did 7041 miles in the last year.

  Does the DMV not have something similar?

  If you don’t have an especially long commute, good chance you’re between 12k to 15k per year. That’s a typical yearly amount, and leases are usually set around there.

  13k in six months is about twice the average.
